Fail
Today's ride failed. Got all dressed up in my ride day kit, loaded up the xB and headed out. Got to the ride launch site, turned around and drove home. Just lacked any desire. The stomach is still all ephed up and my mind was 650 miles away from a ride. Gonna play this week out on pure gut feel for riding.
Got some nice design stuff done for XXC #9 today. Happy with the direction of the next issue. Still unsure of the overall direction/survival of the mag in 2011 though. I was so geeked coming into 2010, but failed somewhere along the line. I could blather about my worries and uncertainty, but would rather just keep on keepin' on. I know that the mag is a good idea. I just need to be patient and let it grow. Just not good at the being patient thing.
In non ride questions? Today's high was about 88 degrees, so why is someone in the neighborhood lighting a fire pit? I have to turn my AC off because all the smoke is being sucked into my house. Now everything smells like smoke, my eyes are burning, and I'm hot. Yeah, I'm gonna miss this ephing dump with all my heart. Can't wait to get up north to house hunt with Wifey. OR start looking for my Ted Kaczynski-esque cabin in the woods.
Later.

Sometimes you gotta roll with yr instinct. Yr either in it to be in or simply just not. Just so you know I loaded my bike up once 4.30am one morning drove 45 mins to some sweet single track, to meet up with a zenmaster school master to fine tune my skillz..... well I had to turn around and go back home. I left the front wheel in the drive. Roof racks...fah!
I dont know where you riding yesterday but White Oak was lots of fun. Creek trail is so freaking fast.
Also I pile some logs and made some down fall clearable by trimming some of the sticks.
Lastly I think alot of the off cambered turns wouldnt be so bad if the trees to the inside were removed.
Should have seen the hotel where Mr. Unabomber stayed in Utah. Man just walking into that place would probably give you Hep C. On a side note I kind of dream of having my own Storage Shed. A nice comfy chair, cable tv and internet. I would probably never leave.
Josh, Creek is a BLAST! One of my fave trails in the area. I cant' believe it's just minutes from my crib.
Couple trails there are screaming for a bench cut.
Blacdog. Nice! Sort of like a Unabomber Rumpus Room? Ha!
I feel ya, bro. I planned on threading some single track right after work but lost my mojo around 1:30 today. There's an endurance race coming up this weekend and I'm bailing on that too. I just haven't trained enough this season. Damn economy! My plan-B is to do a CX race in town two weeks from now.
